Infrastructure Update of 2014

From Gary Schulze, who is a RPCV from the early Peace Corps years in Sierra Leone. Gary has had the honor of being made an honorary Paramount Chief in Shenge
( http://www.peacecorpsconnect.org/2013/05/npca-board-member-installed-as-paramount-chief/ ) near where he served. This video shows a bridge on the way to Kaboro Chiefdom that exists today and how tenuous it was to cross
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoC7yALLe2Q. The video was sent to me by Gary Schulze. The picture below is taken from c. 1969 of a similar bridge condition on a trip to the Loma Mountains. Sadly the infrastructure needs as a result of the war, and aggravated by the rains remain.
